Bathroom fitting in Norton Canes

Before your new bathroom in Norton Canes

This kind of work rarely needs planning permission, but it does have to comply with Building Regulations, and some parts must be certified by a registered installer or signed off by building control. In Norton Canes, building control is provided by Cannock Chase District Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

New bathroom extract fans should achieve at least 15 litres per second.
Tile adhesive and grout need time to cure before the shower is used, so allow for it in the programme.
Creating a bathroom in a room that didn't have one is likely to need Building Regulations approval, from Cannock Chase District Council or a registered building control approver.

Which option fits your home?

Walk-in shower instead of a bath

Replacing the bath with a large low-profile tray and a glass panel makes the room feel bigger and is easier to step into. The waste needs a suitable fall, which can be tricky on timber floors, so the tray position and height are planned carefully. It's worth thinking about whether you'll want a bath when you sell.

Panels or tiles

Large-format tiles look smart but need flat walls, careful setting out and waterproofing in the shower area. Waterproof wall panels go up faster, have fewer grout lines and can be fitted over sound existing surfaces. Many bathrooms mix the two, with panels in the shower and tiles elsewhere to suit both budget and look.

How do I book a survey in Norton Canes?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your new bathroom and arrange a time to visit.

What if it's our only bathroom?

We plan around it. The toilet can usually be refitted temporarily at the end of most days, or put back early in the programme, so you're not without one overnight. The shower and bath will be out of use for most of the job, so it's worth arranging somewhere to shower, with family or at a gym, for a week or so.

Will I need permission from the council in Norton Canes?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Norton Canes is provided by Cannock Chase District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
